Do you get extra points if you spend the day converting models with a scalpel and a saw, and then cut the tip of your thumb off while cutting bread for your dinner? (also if the hospital just glues it back on with Loctite?)
Double points if you end up being the actual subject of the rebuild .
I'm amazed you aren't patched up with green stuff as well!

I also got 8 stitches in my side when I had an accident painting a 20ft demon...
This thread makes me not want to get a shuttle. I love all my minis so far and FFG even totally set me up when I bought a starter that someone had raided before (missing several things). They were great at setting it straight, but in this case, it seems they don't care.
I'm picking up my shuttle today. I've been pretty frustrated by the delays on Wave 3 stock getting to Australia, but at least I've had a chance to sufficiently lower my expectations with regards to the shuttle.
I don't think it's fair to say that FFG 'don't care'. What option do they have? It's financially viable to send out the odd replacement starter set or expansion to maintain individual customers, but can you imagine the cost involved in offering a replacement to every single person who purchased the shuttle? Clearly this is a design flaw, and not a manufacturing fault - so FFG would be faced with the prospect of paying to replace every single shuttle purchased.
Their only other option would have been to pull the shuttle from Wave 3 completely until the flaw could be rectified, and I doubt any of us would've been particularly happy with that decision!
Admittedly I've yet to experience the disappointment first-hand, but given the choice between FFG issuing a full 'recall' on the shuttles, or investing that same money into future developments to the game then I'd rather deal with one crappy model (which will almost certainly be fixed in future prints anyway) and see the game continue to expand than demand some sort of refund and cause problems for FFG.
Can anyone confirm this has been taken care of in current prints of the shuttle? I'm thinking of getting one eventually.
* This seems to be a fixed issue as the one I bought recently Jan/2016 the wings fold down properly.
Edited by oldtimerI bought a new in about 2 months ago and the wings are great. In fact they won't stay up at all
I bought a lambda shuttle in 2014 (my very first X-Wing purchase) and have had no issues with the wings.
The groves on the body are too tight. I grounded them wider with a dremel. This was a clean fix and the wings open fully.

Just grind a little at a time. And work the wings open.
